I really enjoy how Edwin subverts the expectations for his character archetype. Usually, if you had a character that was a mousey unpopular teenager who'd gotten bullied to death, they'd be shy and laden with insecurities, easily steamrolled by characters with more force of personality -- but instead, by the time you meet him in the show, Edwin's ego is basically bulletproof.

He is entirely confident in himself, and comfortable being himself, free to be as fussy, effeminate, and old-fashioned as he likes, because the only person whose opinion of him he gives a fuck about is Charles, and Charles thinks everything about Edwin is brilliant and he can do no wrong. Thirty years of Charles's radical acceptance has allowed him not only to be himself, but to be himself fearlessly.

And I think that's beautiful. :)

i'm sorry guys i'm not gonna be here for some time, i gotta rewatch the scene of the confession a thousand or so times to figure out where the fuck people say that charles left edwin on the friendzone bc i am pretty sure that was NOT what happened in that scene. see you soon <3

i love the idea that charlie knew that something was going on between neil and todd, but hear me out, what if he didn't knew in the moment? what if he knew that there was something different between them, that they had a special friendship, but didn't exactly knew what made it special.

until 10 years later, while he's living in new york, something happens in a bar called stonewall, at the end of june. and suddenly the streets are filled with all the colors of the rainbow, and queer people demanding for the right to love and live. charlie walks down the street to his everyday job when he stumbles across one of those parades. at the start he pays no attention, until two young boys, no more than 18 years old each, catch their eye. they are holding hands and a rainbow flag covers their shoulders, but their eyes are what makes him freeze. they are filled with something... something that he hasn't seen in almost 10 years, that he last saw between an anxious poet and a now dead actor.

and then, in the middle of a crowded manhattan street, he realizes what made their "friendship" special. because in those two teenagers, in their eyes full of what he now knows it's love, he sees todd and neil again.
